If you had a crystal ball that would let you see the 2009 stats for 1 (1 Viewer)

I think I'd take Steve Slaton. For some odd reason, I never got to watch a game with him in it last year and so i don't really have a feel for him beyond his stats.

 
It depends on what my draft slot ends up being. :excited:

But my answer for now would be Brett "Drama Queen" Favre.

:shrug:

 
I think it's got to be someone with high ceiling/low floor who's available a couple of rounds into the draft.

Pierre Thomas?

Brady? (He is returning from a major knee injury)

 
This seems like one of those really silly questions you'd find in some adult party game. :shrug:

Anyway, I'll go with McFadden.

I'm interested to see how he's used and what kind of player he can be in the NFL with 10 healthy toes.

:shrug: I thought about him before going with Slaton. The advantage in knowing Brady's stats would be that it would give you some additional insight into how well Moss and Welker would do.

 
Jon Stewart. That'd pretty much clarify 2 vital and very hard to project players - at least one of which can probably be had now for a portion of '09 value (we just don't yet know which).

 
Donovan McNabb. The eagles season is 100% dependent on him and if he doesn't bring them to the super bowl his eagles career is over.

 
Tomlinson. Is he done as a RB1 or does he have 1 more big year left? I'm picking 4th in a heavy RB redraft league and have a feeling ADP, Turner, & MJD will all be gone leaving me playing a huge guessing game on which RB to take in that spot. I've narrowed it to LDT, Jackson, & Forte.

 
Beanie Wells. I've been a vocal critic of his long term prospects, but there's nothing preventing him from stepping in and putting up top 10 numbers. He's the kind of player who could boost a lot of redraft teams to a championship if he stays healthy.

 
DeAngelo, SJax or Slaton

all 3 of them are very much "value plays" in that they drop a bit further than their ceiling would suggest they should drop, but they all have pretty big question marks as well

the fact that I own at least one of them in about 99% of my leagues also contributes :unsure:

Reggie Bush

Can't wait to see if he can stay healthy for awhole year. When he does he'll finish in the top 5. (ppr and normal)

If we could see career stats, I'd be more interested in seeing Britt. Even then, I'd rather see Jared Cook's stats. A few come to mind; Chris Johnson, Matt Ryan, Eddie Royal - sophomore jynx?Wells, Maclin, Crabtree, Moreno - highly drafted rookies, are we better off selling the picks used for them?Roy Williams, TO, 85 - 2009 should be interesting for these WRs. I'd probably look at Wells, but TO would be interesting.
 
Stephen Gostkowski

If he had tons of extra points I could then determine that Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Wes Welker were probably having great seasons. I would then make sure all 3 were on all my teams. I would also make a play for Fred Taylor.

./I cant think of another top player that has bigger question marks around him. Can he stay healthy? Will the offensive line improve drastically? Can the passing game balance their attack enough to keep defenses honest?
 
Jason Campbell.

It's an important year for him, considering the efforts of the front office to bring in Cutler and draft Sanchez.

SJax for sure. If you know he'll have a great season then he will probably be one of the best value picks this year. If you know he'll underperform yet again then you can avoid him and draft somebody else.Since he's on my dynasty team, I'd like to know Larry Johnson's stats this year. Then I'll know if I should just dump him already, or hold on and get some decent trade value sometime this year.

I don't get this. The Eagles (apparently) upgrade their team this offseason, but if they don't make the Super Bowl it all falls on McNabb? It's quite possible that McNabb will have a good year and others will not.

This is a great answer. Not sure if this is in the spirit of the question, but a great answer none the less.I think Dwayne Bowe, is he a #1Wr?
 
Brady is the easy choice for me. If he has great stats it obviously translates to his skill positions, plus I think it would also give me a clue as to skill positions on his opponents this season. If the Pats are blowing it up then most likely that means their opponents are going to be passing more and running less. Make sense?

 
For me, I don't have just one. It's Chris Johnson (1A) and Steve Slaton (1B). Can BOTH of them match or improve upon their rookie campaigns? If so, then I can bow out of a deal I'm working on for a 3rd RB and concentrate on improving other positions on my team.

 
I would go for Carson Palmer.

If he has a very good season, I could assume 85 and Coles have good seasons as well, and would also think Benson becomes a good value play as well.

 
I would go for DeAngelo Williams, just to see if he can come close to what he did last season, and because I'm a Panthers fan!

 
I'd be very curious to see how Jay Cutler fares in Chicago.

ETA: We're about to find out just how good the Bears receivers really are.

Brady would be a good one as someone said earlier, it would also tell you about Moss and Welker.

I think if I could wait to ask the question until the 3rd -5th round, that's where I generally get stuck on a high upside player vs. safe production player

 
Devin Hester - if Hester has huge numbers I think I could get him at a good price. May say something about Cutler too!

 
L Johnson. Guy's getting drafted in the late 4th (RB 25).

Tom Brady? Moss 1300/8, Welker 1100/6, Galloway 700/5, Baker 400/3, Watson 300/2

That's 3800/24 just from his WRs/TEs. Add another 800/6 from RBs and Brady's

back to stud, but you still draft all NE guys in their normal spots.

S Jackson is going to get his numbers no matter what.

I think you pick a guy who is going late 4th and beyond and draft him a

round earlier- S Moss, C Benson, B Berrian, E Royal, D Ward types.

That's a pretty bad year for Moss
 
Right, Blackjacks- but it's still Wr1 type numbers.

The Pats spread it around so much Brady could pass for 5000/40 and still Moss's

share could still be ONLY 1500/13. If P Manning did that Wayne, Gonzalez,

and Clark would all be 1200 yds/ double digit TD's.

I'm fairly confident Brady is going to have a big season so I wouldn't choose him.

For me, probably Tony Romo or Matt Cassel.

 
RB Bush for Oakland. I have a feeling when its all said and done he be the top RB in Oakland this year. McFadden looks like a reach based on his current ADP.

 
Tom Brady is the obvious answer for me.

Some others...

QB - Mike Vick - hopefully these stats also list the team!

RB - Donald Brown - One rook to watch...does Addai hold him off?

WR - Roy Williams - Can he be a #1 wideout in Big D?

TE - Tony Gonzalez - Interested to see if he can do it again...now with ATL

IDP - DeMeco Ryans - bounce back season or is he no longer elite?

 
Brady was the first name that popped into my head - if you know Brady's stats, then you know whether Moss is worth a late first, Brady a late second, Welker, a late third, Galloway and the NE RBs worth double digit round fliers.

Other ones that could be the key to winning your league:

Addai - Brown can produce like an RB1 if Addai has another injury riddled season.

Wells - if he can stay healthy, he could be the steal of the draft

Hasselbeck - will help you know whether to draft Seattle players at all

RBush - if he misses most of the second half of the season again, Thomas could be a top 5 back down the stretch again.

FJones - if he stays healthy all year, he could be almost as valuable as Barber, if he goes down again, everyone will want to have Choice

 
Since the OP said 1 and only 1 player, I'd like to look at Maurice Jones-Drew. As a fan of the Jaguars that would provide some insight as to whether Jacksonville is having a good season or not.

While knowing Tom Brady's numbers will give you insight into players like Moss and Welker, fantasy football is about building a team. So you know about Brady's numbers, but what about the rest of your roster? Knowing Brady's numbers won't guarantee you a championship.

M Bush is a great answer.

If its 400/5, You know McFadden/Fargus is a good chance of RBBC.

If it's 1100/8 you've got a starting RB in round 10+

Right now McFadden is RB23 (avg draft) -way to high.

Oakland has a good running game. It's a three headed monster.

That's a BIG step towards a championship.

For QBs it would be Cutler or Orton.

sharky.
 
I want to know about Miles Austin.

We all know Jason Witten is going to get his, and Roy WIlliams should have a lot of targets. If Austin has huge numbers then he definitely won a job and Romo is probably a great pick. If his numbers are poor it may have been a great move ot draft Hurd/Crayton or just avoid the mess that could be Dallas.

Also, a good guy to know would be MATT SCHAUB.

His huge or not so huge numbers could have large implications about his health, as well as the effectiveness of a running game for Slaton (keeping offense 2-dimensional) and the receiving threats of Owen Daniels, Andre3000, and Walter. If Schaub has large TD totals, then I want to make sure I grab Daniels. He has scored an average of close to 2 TDs per season, and if Schaub's TDs jump, he is most likely recipient.

 
B.Edwards - Which one is going to show up this year? A dedicated WR who will work on his craft to get better constantly or the guy from last season and at times Michigan who made spectacular grabs here and there but dropped the easy ones and lacked concentation.

I think this is the correct answer. If Palmer has huge numbers, then you would grab major value with Palmer, Ochocinco, Coles and Henry. Unless your first three rounds all bust, you would have a steller team because you executed so well during the middle rounds

Percy Harvin....... exactly what his impact will be and how many ways he'll be used. will his game/speed adapt well to NFL to make him a version of Reggie Bush on crack or will he be another great athlete wasted/misused

 
For me it would be R. Rice. Curious to see how much of the work load in the Baltimore backfield he can take over in in 09.....
